    @Camy2909 @PlayOverwatch It’s the same company how many ******* idiots don’t understand this they all run through the same ******* system the issue isn’t just on the overwatch league it’s them too dumbass

  • toshidokii toby ✨💪|| he/they/chirp (@toshidokii) reported

    @LeesGamingYT it’s because of issues with sony. they block cross progression a lot. overwatch didn’t get it until like 2021

  • siiinnnnnnnnnn ѕιи (@siiinnnnnnnnnn) reported

    overwatch devs think they're making a ******* gacha game the way they release these broken *** characters every couple months ong

  • Kanye_Westberg Brad (@Kanye_Westberg) reported

    @fottom_beeder @InfinityWard My only issues are the lack of reload cancel, and the forced sbmm and lack of competitive playlist. Sbmm ruins the game when all you're playing is a competitive game disguised as casual. Like playing ranked halo or overwatch, it's fun when you are trying to play competitive.

  • Kyro100 End my suffering™️ (@Kyro100) reported

    Mfs wanna complain about people having private profiles in Overwatch when the stats page has been consistently broken. Maybe people don't want to see the 47 hours of Hanzo their roommate played when THOSE stats didn't get erased, but the rest were.

    ||. IF YOU PLAY WRECKING BALL IN OVERWATCH WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM. No, I'm not tilted. :)

  • kinzukee Kinzukee🐝 🇳🇬 (@kinzukee) reported

    With how stacked Ramattra is I hope overwatch doesn't fall into the "new characters have convoluted kits and completely invalidate old ones" issue like gacha games.

  • ___ANN3___ Anna Banana (@___ANN3___) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch plenty of issues with overwatch 2. Kept getting disconnected because your servers were unstable. Now I’m banned on competitive and can’t appeal. This is extremely unfair , unjust and just plain Lazy on your part . Own up to your issues

  • Wife0fMany shay ⛄️ (@Wife0fMany) reported

    @TheGrimfulDread Overwatch dwellers def will. They'll buy him to grind and take advantage of his broken state then say its pure skill 💀💀💀

  • xeluvian skye (@xeluvian) reported

    I was mid-match in overwatch 2 and doing really good keeping my team alive and boom, game crashed saying there was an unexpected server error. Now I can’t sign in on that account anymore but my alt account works???

  • mrmcollin collinmatthew (@mrmcollin) reported

  • justaleahfy Leafy 🍃🔆 (@justaleahfy) reported

  • N3rdyWeeb N3rdyWeeb (@N3rdyWeeb) reported

  • Teqve_ Teque ✪ (@Teqve_) reported

    @gokysrightnow @OverwatchEU first why would i go research about game errors because of some comment? and ofc it has happened to others, but it’s not that big of a deal because if it was EVERYONE would be talking about it and overwatch would be alr doing something about it

    overwatch fix your servers

  • AnkushKArora Ankush Arora (@AnkushKArora) reported

    @elebans @watchmensCLC77 @DeekeTweak If you combine COD & Overwatch then yes. But it’s not a monopoly for any hardware platform as it’s always grown on multiple platforms throughout its history. If it’s blocked or given without price parity on any of the platforms then it would create a hardware/service monopoly 👎🏻

  • christina3682 Christina3682 (@christina3682) reported

    @gokysrightnow @OverwatchEU Literally I completely agree with this statement OVERWATCH we are clients who have spent money on your game plz fix this issue with then money we keep giving you🫶🙏

  • Gale_Adelade Gale (@Gale_Adelade) reported

    I genuinely love Overwatch, I want this game to succeed. It’s just so frustrating to see a ranked system that’s been stripped of all its value. A full season of terrible balancing and sojourn not touched at all. Tons of bugs, issues, and a trash new shop system for cosmetics.

  • Whimsickle1 Whimsickle (@Whimsickle1) reported

    Roadhog is such a broken character in Overwatch 2

  • toxic_M22 I.O.R (@toxic_M22) reported

    @BlizzardCS Can you please fix Overwatch, I can’t even play with my friends on PlayStation. And no one receiving their OWL rewards.
